Jack Johnson - Windblown Eyes

[Intro]
Cmaj7

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Well, the anchor has been tested

I guess we’ll stay put for awhile
F
I put the fire where it wanted
Fm
Watched the water become dry
Em
Once more, I was lost in thoughts that were not mine
G G7
When I looked up, they were lost upon the tide
Cmaj7
And now I’m just an island in these systems of silence
F Fm
And as I drift around, I’m still bound to find the frowns
Em Am Em G G7
On the faces of my friends, until the metronome ends…..

[Chorus]
F Em
These windblown eyes
Dm C
Finding it hard to see
F Em
There’s no straight lines
Dm C
Out on this open sea
F Em
No way back home
Dm C
Only places to be
F Em
It’s a wondrous world
Dm C
But it’s got the best of me

[Post-Chorus]
F Em Dm C
Got the best of, oh-oh, oh-oh..
F Em Dm Cmaj7
Got the best of, oh-oh, oh-oh……

[Break]
Cmaj7

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
As if it was a given, I let the rhythm ease my mind
F Fm
I pulled the cold out of the dark and I poured the darkness on the light
Em
But I wanted more

Don’t we all dissolve into the night
G
Only to wake up
G7
In the morning untied?
Cmaj7
And all the blessed pieces

Well, they have been dust now for some time
F
And the rest, it carries on
Fm
All imperfect and just fine
Em
Another season gone
Am
Do I belong to them, or they to me?
Em
Do the reflections
Am
Belong to the stars or to the sea?
Em
How do I let go
G G7
Of yesterday and yet to be?..

[Chorus]
F Em
These windblown eyes
Dm C
Finding it hard to see
F Em
There’s no straight lines
Dm C
Out on this open sea
F Em
No way back home
Dm C
Only places to be
F Em
It’s a wondrous world
Dm C
But it’s got the best of me

[Outro]
Cmaj7
Well, the anchor has been lifted

I won’t be back here for a while
F
I put his ashes where he wanted
Fm
And I kept some by my side
